Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a method to measure the amount of a certain substance without generating aerosol (a small droplet) during the measurement process. This is achieved by setting the resistance value of a resistor in the measurement device within a certain range. By maintaining a well-balanced resistance value, the sensor can detect changes in the measurement value accurately, while also reducing the risk of aerosol generation. This method not only improves the precision of estimating the remaining quantity of the aerosol source, but also helps to avoid the potential health hazards associated with aerosol inhalation.

Problems solved by technology

If the responsiveness is high, for example, the detection performance of the sensor is improved, but there is a risk that the aerosol will be generated during measurement.

embodiment

[0060]FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing one example of the external appearance of an aerosol generating apparatus. FIG. 2 is an exploded view showing one example of the aerosol generating apparatus. An aerosol generating apparatus 1 is an electronic cigarette, a nebulizer, etc. and generates an aerosol in response to inhalation performed by a user and provides the aerosol to the user. Note that a single continuous inhaling action performed by a user will be referred to as a “puff”. Also, in the present embodiment, the aerosol generating apparatus 1 adds a flavor component etc. to the generated aerosol and emits the aerosol into the mouth of the user.

[0061]As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the aerosol generating apparatus 1 includes a main body 2, an aerosol source holding portion 3, and an additive component holding portion 4. The main body 2 supplies power and controls operations of the entire apparatus. The aerosol source holding portion 3 holds an aerosol source to be atomized to gen...

Abstract

An aerosol generating apparatus comprises: a power source; a load configured to have a resistance value that varies according to a temperature and generate an aerosol by atomizing an aerosol source or heating a flavor source when supplied with power from the power source; a sensor configured to include a resistor connected in series to the load and output a measurement value that is a current value of a current flowing through the resistor or a voltage value of a voltage applied to the resistor; and a control unit configured to control power supply from the power source to the load and receive output from the sensor, wherein the resistor has a resistance value that is set such that responsiveness of a change in the measurement value to a change in a temperature of the resistance value belongs to a prescribed range.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)[0001]This application is a continuation of International Patent Application No. PCT / JP2017 / 038394 filed on Oct. 24, 2017, the entire disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONField of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to an aerosol generating apparatus.Description of the Related Art[0003]Aerosol generating apparatuses (electronic vaporization apparatuses), such as so-called electronic cigarettes and nebulizers (inhalers), that atomize (aerosolize) a liquid or a solid, which is an aerosol source, using a load that operates when supplied with power from a power source, such as a heater or an actuator, to allow a user to inhale the atomized liquid or solid are known.[0004]For example, a system for generating inhalable vapor using an electronic vaporization apparatus is proposed (for example, PTL1). With this technology, whether or not vaporization is occurring is determined by monitoring...
